I found this to be a very interesting read. Some of the content was fascinating. It was excellently researched and the content was very well chosen and edited. But the writing itself wasn't fascinating at all I felt, it was difficult to follow and the sentences for the most part seemed to go on and on and on and from my point of view there was not reason for that at all It didn't enhance the book, it just annoyed me if I'm honest and detracted from my enjoyment. But the content as I said previously was so very interesting so for that reason I award 3 and a half stars to Y by Aaron Tucker

I didn't like the way it was written and I thought the portrayal of all the characters was sadly one-dimensional. I had the feeling throughout that something would happen that never did. I wanted there to be more. More atmosphere, more interaction less pretension. I was disappointed.

This sounded like an interesting book. I was excited to read it, but I couldn't seem to get into this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Aaron Tucker for allowing me to read and review this book. Unfortunately, it wasn't my cup of tea and I'll be giving it 3 stars.

An intimate, poetical and sympathetic glance into a crucial period in the life of J.Robert Oppenheimer, a key player in the defeat of the Japanese in WW2.

A lover of his work, the Bhagavad Gita (after the first A bomb test he quoted “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds”),several women at once and long horseback treks through the New Mexico wilderness.Having struggled with his conscience about the impending destruction, he ultimately consoled himself with the belief that Japan would never surrender so therefore Nagasaki and Hiroshima were a sacrifice for victory.

Primarily a Poet, Aaron Tucker lends a lyrical, flowing style to this work of prose. It’s easy to ride, to love, to work and to suffer alongside Opie.

Thanks to Netgalley and Coachouse Books.

Holy run-on sentence Batman!

Seriously. It feels like 70% of this book is made up of run-on sentences. There was no reason for this. It didn't enhance the book at all. The rest of the time was Oppenheimer remembering events from his past. I really didn't like the writer's style. Maybe I just don't get it. Maybe I'm not sophisticated enough to really understand a book like this. I have a degree in English Lit, so I like to think I'm not that uncouth.

I love historical fiction, and I'm fascinated by nuclear history, so I'm always excited to see books that blend the two. Of the three books I've read that feature this combo (This one, The Wives of Los Alamos and Atomic City Girls), all have fallen flat. I'm still waiting for a book that handles the subject well.

I award 1 star for the author writing a book. Most people won't ever do this, so kudos.
I award a 2nd star for finding someone to publish your book.
I cannot award any further stars, because did not enjoy this book at all. I honestly regret ever requesting to read this.

I appreciate the opportunity to review this book however I’m unable to read it due to the format provided.

Can't read the book since the publisher only provided a PDF version. Bummer, it sounded so interesting too.
